Swap Health today announced its launch out of stealth mode with an investment from 25m Health, a joint venture between 25madison, Lifepoint Health, and Apollo Global Management, and a research partnership with the University of Florida. Swap helps lower-income and food insecure individuals manage chronic conditions like diabetes through nutritional therapy, expanded access to affordable healthy food, and population-specific nutritional education.

“We’re thrilled to launch a first-of-its-kind software platform that directly addresses one of the primary Social Determinants of Health: nutrition,” said Aaron Doades, CEO and co-founder of Swap Health. “Together with 25m Health and the University of Florida, we’re excited to increase access to care for a vulnerable population and showcase that the total cost of care can be lowered using proprietary, patient-friendly interventions and empirical clinical data.”

“We are excited to collaborate with Swap Health through 25m Health’s healthtech venture expertise and Lifepoint Health’s expansive provider and patient footprint. There is a large opportunity to increase access to nutrition and chronic disease management for low-income populations, who have traditionally been overlooked and are at most risk, and the Swap Health team will do just that,” said Steven Price, CEO and Co-Founder, 25madison.

“I am excited to collaborate and work with the team at Swap Health,” said University of Florida’s Dr. Anne Mathews, PH.D, R.D.N. “Using technology for social good; to support people and families in eating healthfully is so important. I am a firm believer that these kinds of programs are a big part of the solution to addressing both food insecurity and preventing and managing chronic diseases.”
